OK, Kev, just for info, we've got Hamilton, Tsunoda and Bottas on soft C3s and we've got the rest of the field on new C2s.

Go in.

So, I'll be, you'll be started when the cars are on their formation lap. Verstappen will be around about the, just after turn 10, when we call that. And then we'll drive out with just over a minute to go.

The suggestion is to use motor push for starting from the line.

Copy that.

Formation lap is in just over five seconds.

TAB please, Laura.

Okay, Kevin, could you just crank the engine, please?

Okay, let's start the engine, please.

No transcript available

OK. Car on the ground, please.

Okay, drive to the pit exit please.

So you're going to wait for the green light.

The grid is still forming up.

The last car is on the grid.

Race has started. Watch the green light.

Back of the grid is four seconds ahead of you.

Zhou is 2.2 seconds ahead.

Go 1.2.

DRS is enabled.

OK, Zhou, five seconds ahead.

Reset balance adjuster.

Go four and a half ahead.

Go, three seconds.

Pushing a bit hard through 7, Kev. Pushing a bit too hard through 7. Zhou 2.5 ahead.

If entry stability is a problem, suggest P6.

Show 1.6.

Sergeant, two seconds ahead, 2.3.

Zhou does not have DRS. Correction, Zhou has DRS.

Zhou does not have DRS.

So you've got the snap and then understeer at turn 10. Suggest trying that right-hand toggle just to see if it helps.

Albon has boxed. He's gone to hard tyres.

17 seconds behind.

Careful, just a reminder about the left toggle might help turn 7.

Nico and Tsunoda have also boxed. 12 seconds behind you.

Nice job, Kevin. Lock on 1.7 ahead.

Ocon's last lap was a 17.7.

Reset the balance adjuster when possible.

Ocon 1.9, Sargeant 1.1 behind.

You are currently in P14.

Lock on 1.5.

Suggest EB4 to reduce understeer.

Nice job, Kev. Ricciardo 4.5 ahead. Lap time 17.6.

Reset the bounce adjuster when you can. Reference Nico three and a half seconds behind.

47 laps to go. Ricciardo 4.3.

Right toggle may help at turn 9.

Ricardo 4.1 for reference. Nico still three and a half seconds behind.

Ricciardo 3.6, Nico 3 seconds behind.

If we see high speed understeer increasing, so suggest trying the left toggle again. We know you had a snap last time, but it looks like the high speed understeer is increasing.

Ricciardo 2.9 ahead, Nico 2.7 behind.

Ricardo 2.5, Nico 2 seconds.

Ricciardo 2.1, Nico 1.9 under pressure from Hamilton.

Car behind is Hamilton. Same lap as you. 1.6 behind. He's made a pitstop. He's on five-lap tyres.

Hamilton, close behind you.

Ricardo is boxed. Hamilton coming past. Nico two seconds behind.

Car ahead, your racing is Stroll, 4.5 seconds ahead. He's still on 29 lap mediums. His last lap was an 18.0.

Nico one second behind but no DRS.

Stroll has boxed.

Nico, 0.7 behind. Please swap positions into turn 1.

No threats behind you, Kurt.

Car behind is Tsunoda. He's six seconds behind on 17 lap mediums doing 17.0.

We need to try to build an offset on tyres to the cars that have already stopped.

My suggestion is to use the left toggle to reduce understeer in 2 and 3 as well, Kev.

Okay, Tsunoda behind you has boxed again, so he's out of the picture at the moment.

Car behind is Albon on 21 lap hard. He's doing 16.4.

If the rears will take it, suggest EB4 to try and help mid-understeer.

You are currently P10 but you are the only car not to have stopped.

Stopping us now. We'll put us with Tsunoda in P19 just behind Ocon in P18.

There's 34 laps to go at the end of this one.

OK, Kev. Albon and the cars behind are fighting Nico for position. Albon is two seconds behind you.

Nico is currently P9.

Albon 1.2 behind. Gasly 4.1 behind.

Please go to DX3, it will help reduce the high speed understeer when you use the toggle.

Albon 1.1, he's on 25 lap hards. Gasly is on 5 lap hards.

Albon has DRS 0.6 behind.

Albon point three with DRS. Gasly right behind him.

Albon right behind you with DRS. Also Gasly and Alonso and Stroll.

Mode T4, careful, mode T4.

We're not planning any flap adjustment, Kev. No flap adjustment planned. Box, Kev, box. Plus point two, plus point two. Copy.

It will be close with Zhou on pit exit.

Verstappen coming past. Zhou is actually five seconds behind, so all clear.

29 laps to go at the end of this lap. We are currently P19. Tsunoda is 11 seconds ahead on 8 lap hards.

And remember to manage the left front, particularly into turn 7.

Tsunoda is doing 18.0.

So there's a four car group. Ocon, Bottas, Sargeant, Tsunoda. Six seconds ahead of you. All on much older tyres than yours. There's a good chance you should be able to catch them and possibly pass them before the end of the race.

Bottas has boxed, so you've got Tsunoda 5.8 ahead of you. His last lap was a 17.5. Sargeant just in front of him, same lap time.

27 laps to go.

Tsunoda and Sargeant four seconds ahead now.

That's Tsunoda, one and a half seconds ahead of you. His last lap is 16.6.

Be aware we've got Leclerc 1.6 seconds behind.

Blue flag for Leclerc. Piastri right behind Leclerc.

Piastri through as well. Clear behind.

Russell is four seconds behind. He's doing 15.1s.

22 laps to go.

Please press the oil pump button, Gav.

19 laps to go.

Blue flag for Russell, closely followed by Sainz. Perez is two and a half seconds behind Sainz.

Russell 1.2 behind. He's boxing. Russell has boxed. Sainz 2 seconds behind. No blue flag at the moment.

Blue flag for Sainz.

Sainz has DRS, 0.8 behind.

Perez 2.6 behind.

OK, for a reminder, we could use the left toggle for understeer 2, 3 and 7.

Blue flag for Perez. 1.4 behind.

Blue flag for Perez, one second behind.

Perez 0.8 behind with DRS. Albon, who has just stopped and is on fresh tyres, is right behind him.

Albon 0.2 behind with DRS.

He's on fresh mediums.

Since you're being held up, suggest going to SOC 7 to help maximise charge for K1 use.

11 laps to go. Russell three seconds behind.

Blue flag for Russell.

Russell 1.1 behind, no DRS.

Russell 0.6 behind.

Hamilton 1.3 behind.

Blue flag for Hamilton, 0.9 behind.

Nine laps to go.
